This was one of the first picotee begonias developed and hybridizers are still attempting to improve on it, without success. Lots of silvery white blooms each edged with a ribbon of red. Picotee First Love looks great in containers, alone or mixed with roseform red begonias. Deep green leaves accent the lighter, heavily crimped blooms beautifully.
